Bingo
Didn’t someone data mine PL-8bs a while back?
eh, EF doesnt need an AESA to compete against rafale, id say the F-16 and F-15 need it more
thats only on very late EF versions too
CAPTOR-E Mk 2 beats all of them (it entered service like last week)

an APG-82v1 can probably beat it in power and range and T/R count though (its a big radar)
let alone the mythical APG-85
Considering that CAPTOR-E beat out the R*fale’s PESA radar I’d like to think the Typhoon is still better.
Maybe, I’m not sure but they would likely come with the J-10B and J-11B along with Python 4s.
I think they were planned for dance of dragons and than everything went off the rails when Gaijin found out about the 4 element seeker.
Interesting fact:
The PL-8 we have in game is actually a PL-8A with a PL-8B visual model and is somehow named the PL-8.

PESA was old gen radar, would be more fair against rafale AESA
why
Ah whatever. It’s still a Python 3 at the end of the day.
I think python 4 > pl-8B. I don’t think it has the same gigantic overload. Python 4 can be launched almost behind your back.
Maybe. We’ll have to see with the de-classified and unrestricted documents we all have on these radars. No? Ah well.
yeah, gotta wait a while for even estimates
Python 4 is better than PL-8B. That’s not a subjective thing. It’s still a Python 3 even if it’s been Chineseified.
China has a sad situation. He won’t have a better rocket until PL-10, but it will be introduced much later. You’ll have to play with PL-8B and PL-9C
It depends on what you value, the PL-8B has an egregious amount of thrust so if you like far away stealthy shots than that’s for you.
On the contrary, I’m a fan of frenzied rocket overloads. Years of playing on the R-60 change a person.

It’s like R-27T vs R-27ET except the ET has extra better IRCCM
i think F-22A (current) will come with EFT T4, and Rafale F4.1 or 2
Correct, aka peak missile
